_Crutches and Crutch Supplies_
We sell only the best quality of these goods and such as can be
absolutely relied upon. Sent on receipt of price, or C.O.D. if order is
accompanied with a deposit of one dollar to cover express charges if for
any reason the crutches are returned to us. Special crutches will be made
to order for such as desire something different from the regular line,
but advance payment is required. Our crutch catalogue gives more complete
descriptions than the brief ones given here and will be forwarded to any
who apply for it.
